I finished it.Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a very good metroidvania, very fun. A bit less RPG-like than Unepic, but more straightforward.However, it's pure fanservice, so if you don't know the franchise, you're left asking "whomst this" and "whomst that".

Hey /indie/, divegrass anon here. Tomorrow and over the weekend we'll be playing a qualifier tournament for next /vg/ League. All we need to qualify is not come last. Surely nothing will go wrong, right? Come watch.
>>503070568>Surely nothing will go wrong, right? Come watch.Every game I watch, we loseluckily I'm busy on Saturday so we have goof chances to win that one
>>503071392Every team I support loses.

>>503072249are fucking losers
>>503072193>Every team I support loses.I only support /indie/ and /egg/ and they always fail.
>>503072932I supported/nepgen/ and /civ4xg/, they lost.I supported the Katawa Shoujo one during a match, one poor fucker had his spine snapped in two.
How do I get good at Disco Elysium? I just lost on Monday by getting morale damaged to death. This was after I started with a balanced build of 3 in all stats. I'm just frustrated that I kept screwing up thanks to bad dice rolls and wrong dialogue choices.
>>503074190Just savescum.
>>503074190Take him to Detroit.
>>503074190>losing at a visual novelgrim
>>503074236I guess I'll just reload, but it looks like my last save was 3 in-game hours away from when I died.
>>503074190How about you think once before you say something stupid?
>>503074190You're supposed to *perform*. It is not only your skills that make up your character, but his personality. Act and think like you were the character himself. If you have to savescum you're doing it all wrong, except if *savescumming makes sense for your character*, if that means anything to your "performance".That being said, I got three bad endings before I finally got the hang of things and got to finish it. I did savescum the bunker door because I was the fucking human can opener, baby.
bumpI'm so hungry and tired
i finished food quest ending in gourmand.i have a question.does he not have access to depths/ascension ending?i'd go there and check myself but i'm already burnt out on the game after like 4 playthorughs.
>>503068825You dare make the OP picture my eternal hated rival?I'm stealing your christmas present.
>>503106656he has one, though the ascension endings of dlc slugcats aren't really interesting aside from artificer. If you haven't played the saint campaign and you're not too burn out I higly recommend it. It's really different from other playthrought gameplay wise and it has some of the most memorable and heart-breaking moments in the game
>>503109204yeah i'm just wondering if it's the exact same as survivor except he's fat or if there's something cool to it like seeing some slugpups
>>503109415it's the exact same cutscene as survivor except he's slightly more fat. There's no extra slugpup or anything
>>503110867thanks.i'll probably finish the game because i like it so much i just need to take a break to not make it feel like a chore.honestly top 3 best games of all time for me. heard there's a new DLC coming so i'll probably finish downpour before it drops
Are there any other games within the "singleplayer MMO" genre? The only one I know of is Erenshor, and it isn't out yet, with only a demo.
>>503117179not indie but Xenoblade chronicles.
>>503117302I don't mean something loosely considered like that or Amalur and other related games; I mean a game that literally sells itself and is purposely made to be a 'singleplayer' MMO.

>>503138782you watch it for Nobuteru Yukis art and aesthetics. it's using anime as a visual medium first and a story telling medium third.
>>503138782The game is still very good, but... don't expect to know who Parn is. It's kinda like playing a Souls game without introductions or item descriptions, you meet people, and they're called "your best friend, Rohan the Very Nice", and he tries to sock your face.
>>503118893I really like Vintage Story but I'm keeping it on hold until the new update comes out with more content and quests to do, from what I've heard it's coming before the end of the yearIn the meantime I'm having a go at Blasphemous and its bretty good
>>503132026>no monthly fee or cancerous monetizationi thought you wanted an mmo
>>503150843And I thought the point of a singleplayer MMO would be MMO without the drawbacks
>>503150987So what DSP did with WoW? Turn off all chats and play solo like a friendless loser?
>>503151091That sounds double retarded. Not only do you get the drawbacks of a live mmo, but you also lose the upsides.

>>503118893>DarkwoodHorror game made by people who say they hate horror games or at least the ones full of jump scares leading to one of the best horror games I've every played. It's tense as fuck, has great art, setting and sound design, touches on some interesting philosophical themes and the ending didn't let me go for days after finishing it>Pathologic 2Couldn't do it justice in the character limit, but one part I like is how your choices matter in the story. Time is an invaluable resources and you have to make choices which quests and characters to spend it on while also desperately fighting hunger, thirst and an incurable disease. You never pick between the "good quest ending" and "bad quest ending" in dialogue, you're sometimes simply forced to refuse to help someone because you don't have the time...hell for at least one quest the best outcome is not doing it at all.It's an amazing gameAlso what >>503118893 said. Vintage Story is like Minecraft but more fun for me
Okay, I played about 2 hours of kitaria fables. I can safely say that it's okay. Like, it's literally the kind of game you play to pass time one afternoon and never think about ever again. The story rushes all over the place, the gameplay feels a bit like those very old action mmo from 10+ years ago. You got a dark souls dodge roll, you got a sword, you hit enemies, they show an attack cone, you dodge roll and that's pretty much it. It's very unoffensive, it's not bad but it doesn't do much. The farming game element is a side note almost. But! It doesn't do anything truly wrong. The attacks are accurate to what you would expect, you don't get stun locked.I'd say for the fruit juice I had to gave up to pay for the game while it was 90% off ($2), it was a good deal.There is coop and remote play together, I haven't tested it because my connection doesn't allow it and my friend group is almost non-existant.
>>503074190Look around for the healing consumables. They are everywhere.>>503068825Anyone know good survival games? Preferably games that make you feel powerless and puts you in an environment that constantly tries to kill you. I've played through Don't Starve, Project Zomboid, Vintage Story, and Better Than Wolves, but I'm currently looking for another good game that gives this feeling.Preferably something thats first person and isn't very interface heavy. Doesn't have to be a sandbox either.
>>503195978Darkwood obviously
>>503196293Looks great. Thanks for the recommendation anon.>>503189025>Vintage StoryGlad this game is getting more and more popular. Its gonna be the ultimate comfy game sandbox one day.
>>503195978Rain world is pretty good for that feeling of being powerless and everything is trying to kill you.
>>503196995One day...
>>503074190>>503074190what the others said. i dont think that having a balanced character is the point of the game. you can make your character have any kind of background and knowledge, there is a huge variety of stuff that lets you determine who your character is. and while having too much points or not enough points in any type of skill has its "problems", they arent problems in itself, they are thing that make your character coherent and give them ways to deal with situations in more interesting ways than just being disgustingly average.there is a saying that applies here: "jack of all trades, master of none".
>>503197214not everything. i am just getting the hang of it and while you are at the bottom of the food chain, you are not at the very bottom of it. the game is a lot about figuring out how to deal with your environment and outsmarting it in a way, but at the end of the day, yes, it is very much about survival. poor slugcat dying a million deaths.
>>503156342cherish this moment, anonit won't happen much often
>>503117179Goat SimulatorSpeaking of demos, it's been a while since I've had anything to hype. Any recommendations?
so, did you solve the eyes yet?
Man I don't know what it is about rainworld, I literally replayed it earlier this year, but I almost have an itch to play it again. Something about its world and atmosphere is so addicting. I guess I could go back and do all the DLC guys stories or whatever.
>>503182146not really. you probably played an old build. U13 changed things up completely and fixed many performance issues that can ruin a first impression.i loved synthetik 1 and dumped about a 100 hours in it and i can confidently say Synthetik 2 is way better.
>>503185627Same. It's fucking hard.
>>503210920play rain world drought.think of it this way.rain world downpour is a bunch of mods that were high quality enough to be added into the official product.Drought is the same. think of it as a 9th slugcat and he fits right in.
is draught on console yet? save it elitists.I already have downpour
>>503210920The secret is all in the movement. Slugcat is so fun to move around as you can throw him in an empty maze and you'll still get dopamine just from jumping all over the place
>>503211083It fucks me even harder than my ex used to peg me.
>>503211362it isn't and it's not going to be as long as there won't be console workshop
>>503189025>Horror game made by people who say they hate horror games or at least the ones full of jump scaresCorrection they hate popcorn horror, high horror doesn't fill itself with jumpscares for no reason. I don't think there is anything wrong with popcorn horror but I get why people don't like it.
Playing Moons of Madness, besides the game basing itself too much in jumpscares (it's not that bad though, they aren't very harsh) the game is pretty okay. It's mostly a walking sim but it has enough puzzles to not feel like it just like Vanishing of Ethan Carter.Honestly I wish there were more cool story puzzle games with interesting and complex puzzles. And I know the answer is "Play point n click games" or "Play First person adventure games" but any good ones you guys can recommend?

>>503118893Fuckin uhhhhhh Way of the Samurai 4Combat is decently fun, you get to goof off a lot and do all kinds of side quest shit to unlock new routes, costumes, fighting styles and weapons, it encourages multiple replays with different endings and the like, and you've got a lot of freedom for character customization.Not to mention you can romance a cute loli if you play your cards right, though you will need to do some out-of-the-way stuff to do that.

>>503196995>Glad this game is getting more and more popular.I've seen it posted here about 2-3 years ago and started playing it on and off. I have the same issue as you. I take the game very slow so a playthrough can last for over a year for me however you want to define a playthrough while there is no real endgame yet, but there is always a new update looming over me and with the last few adding shit to the worldgen I'm always cautious about starting a new run when it means potentially locking myself into the current update for so long. Not to mention mod compatibility

>Stalker general officially became Stalker 2 generalI come to this place for Stalker advice for I have nowhere left to go.What should I look for mod-wise if all I'm looking for is just CoP with a custom character? Like I literally loved everything about CoP, gunplay, exploration, artefact hunting, quests, achievements that award perks, EVERYTHING except playing as a glowie. I don't want tacticool shit, I don't want autistic balance changes from spergs who are one discord convo away from transitioning, I don't want LE HARDCORE SURVIVAL, so I'm pretty sure the mainstream trifecta of Misery/Gamma/Anomaly is not for me. What should I play instead if I just want CoP without Degtyarev?
>>503118893Secrets of Grindea. I'll just copypaste my steam review:I struggle to describe how enjoyable this game is. Downright magical. I haven't felt so... adventurous... in years.It plays good.It looks gorgeous.It's fun to explore.Its secrets are obscure enough to make you feel good for figuring them out while being clear enough that you (almost) never need any third party assistance to figure them out.It has a perfectly simple story that doesn't take itself too seriously as to be pretentious, and its parody setting doesn't overindulge in itself as to ruin the immersion.Its characters are authentically goofy yet very endearing.It's brimming with soul in every little detail.It's so great, in fact, that not even fighting the cataclysmically awfully designed (on the hard difficulty) final boss could ruin it, and the frustration was immediately made up for with the ending.Masterwork of a game. A passion project of unending passion. I never heard of it in its 13 years of pre-release development, stumbled upon it by pure chance, and am infinitely grateful for that cosmic coincidence to have brought upon me awareness of this game's existence.
>>503195978Try Wayward. It's a low power survival game where building a house will probably take you days and where bronze gear is currently the peak of power. I'm reasonably confident it should scratch the itch.
>>503118893>Rogue's TaleThe comfiest traditional roguelike I've ever played. It's incredibly smooth controls-wise, it has the most satisfying metaprogression I've ever seen (don't sperg out, trust me, THIS metaprogression is one of the good onez), and it's nice to look at. It's also so fucking hard that you probably have to be literally mentally ill on some level to enjoy it. It nearly got mixed reviews due to difficulty alone. I have 500 hours in it and have gotten all 550 or so achievements.
>>503249886I spent much more time with SoC than CoP, and in most of my COP playthroughs, most of what I did to mod CoP was just cosmetic, so I couldn't tell you much aside from saying that the Call of Chernobyl mod (the original open world COP mod before people took MEMERY and added it into the mix) lets you pick your faction and stuff. I'm not sure how much it's been improved or how many addons have been created since I played it years and years ago, but it was basically just a free-roam of all the STALKER zones from all 3 games as whatever faction you decide.
CARD CITY NIGHTSTHREEEEEEEEEE

>>503248385Is that michael thorton's model?
>>503251509Do you happen to at least remember which of the versions was still faithful to vanilla? I'm downloading 1.4 for now,
>>503254068Not a clue. I can't even remember which AMK version(s) I liked in SoC, and I played those much more.
>Nine Sols>platforming segments are all side-scrolling bullshit for the first 50% of the game, the later half gets less aggravating>platform is painfully basic and easy anyway>2 to 3 seconds loading segments, which are plenty because each zone is the size of a short SNES Mario stage, plus you have to travel to the main hub to be able to teleport to other areas, so extra loading time.>1 to 2 seconds animations when interacting with NPC, which you'll do plenty of times>2 to 3 seconds boss animations every single attempt, both 1st phase and 2nd phase>regular enemies are kinda lame and boring to deal with, hard to explain without writting wall of text>bosses and mini-bosses all have a single cancer thing about them that ruins an otherwise great fightThe game is designed to pad time and only the boss fights are worthwhile despite their flaws, everything else is plain and forgettable. If it wasn't for the platforming exposing the game design philosophy, I might've overlooked the other time-wasting shit and have a different opinion about the game. I'll say though the lore and characters are endearing enough and the dialogue/translation is super competent for a chinese/taiwanese game, whatever the devs may be. I had a WAY more enjoyable time with Afterimage, and that game has it's fair share of flaws too.Inb4 NEETs and zoomers calling me an ADHD zoomer. The bosses are simply not worth the time required to go through the stuff between each of them and deep inside your soul you know it's the truth.

>>503280971Slay was better in early beta before the abhorrent overtuning and reliance of more RNG features.
>>503283664Aound 40 hours for a single player campaign.Multiplayer and sandbox games have no upper limit. A good MMO can last thousands of hours with friends.

>>503283664Depends on genre but 20-30 is ideal.
>>503279987kowalski, pull up France's legal age of consent
>>503235130You've got it twisted. You think "Misao comes off as petty for demanding the deaths of Saotome and Kudoh". But Misao isn't actually supposed to come across as reasonable at all. The author intended for everyone to be at least somewhat sympathetic and that Misao, while tragic, has gone too far. It just so happens that the author is a fuckwit and didn't realize that Sohta and especially Yoshino are actually so hateable that most players would think "they fucking deserved worse". Like take Sohta's backstory. It sets him up as a tragic boy who's almost a mirror to Misao and was never able to find anyone who accepted him for him. A product of his society. COOL. He still raped and murdered a minor.

Any cool mods for rain world downpour?expeditions are addicting.
>>503298993i mean there's rain world drought
>>503283664I like being able to beat the main game in 20 hours or less, but having the option to come back for dozens if not hundreds of hours of sidequests. I mostly play JRPGs (Hat World, Crystal Project, False Skies), Roguelikes (DCSS, TOME, Achra etc), plus assorted dungeon crawlers and other RPGs. I don't mind longer games mind you, but I'll probably never beat their main story.I don't like short games because I'm always worried about getting my money's worth, and when I pirate I feel bad because it's an indie dev.
lots of talk about rain world in this general which i appreciate.so anyone here interested in video cutlt's next project?seems they're working on a racing game with fightning mechanics.
>>503309726eh. doesn't sound like my thing, but rain world didn't sound like my thing either so who knows.
Finally finished, I never want to see another maze again in my life. Although I'm too much of a brainlet, I still would've considered this a masterpiece if it weren't for the boring and repetitive sections. After playing Sayonara Wild Hearts, I was hoping they'd shake things up to a similar extent, rather than recycle.
>>503196995>>503246638Vintage story is great, but yeah devs are taking their time and while there is no end game, there is already concrete lore so far.By the next update, there will be more of lore-based content to explore.The good thing was on how much the realistic gameplay it goes, although some people want MORE realism...
Seems like we will receive some delicious lovecraftian horrorkino mixed with dracula babes before the end of the year boys. And yes, I'm crossposting this from /horg/.>RAVENSBURG is a haunting RPG where you play as a vampire. Here Lovecraftian Horror meets Anime. Liberate a cult-ridden city, uncover mysteries, and fight horrors beyond imagination while befriending attractive companions. Build your mansion, and explore the city’s darkest depths.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3314710/RAVENSBURG/
>>503250762It's amazing that a turn-based game has managed to squeeze in multiplayer and have it be able to work well. Wayward is one of my personal favorite games just because of this.An alternative for a game like this is Elin; the new game of the Elona Dev.>>503258203Name?>>503280971Slay The Spire was released in 2017. It was THE game that brought deckbuilding from board games to digital -with roguelike- and basically the father of this combination of genres. Nowadays it's hard to see a Roguelike game that doesn't have a copy of the Slay the Spire map.Of course, the years go by and by now everyone will have played some copy of it... Not that this is a bad thing. With each new game comes a different kind of innovation. But it's also not surprising that you look at the original game and say 'There's nothing in it that I haven't seen a thousand times before'.
>>503309726is there some actual gameplay footage?
>>503326637there's a youtube trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uIXVTQqLbEI've seen one of the devs post more indepth gameplay footage but i don't feel like going through their media tab to fetch it.
>>503254534Thank you for the review anon
"Metroidvanias" just need to stop. You're never beating Super Metroid. Think of something else to make already.
>>503309726If it wasn't from them I wouldn't be interested at allbut because it's them I'm curious
i just wanna say Synthetik 2 is very cool.i know alot of people tried it months ago in alpha and didn't like it, which is fair because it had a ton of performance issues and missing features, but it changed drastically between each update and it's in a very good state right now on update 14. if that applies to you i think you should give it another go.if nothing else, the OST is still greathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ZZbBY5NNA
>>503330475>we can't make anything in the vein of another game because the original exists and thus is the only game in the genre you needDamn...Card-based combat niggas on suicide watch...at least Slay the Spire fags are eating like kings...
>>503286950i wish this game had more meat to it.best combat system in the whole genre imo, compressing the "deck" into a 6 sided die where each side is functionally a card is a stroke of genius, it makes adding buffs/debuffs to each side intuitive and gives every class alot of personality based on the die they have assigned.it just needed more variety in enemies, playable classes, and especially in events.
>>503309726same as the other anons, if it wasn't made by videocult I wouldn't even consider playing it
>>503310186>>503331689>>503330595funny you guys should say that.Joar (main guy behind the team) always kept saying that the main thing that matters for an indie dev to succeed is finding a way to market your game or grab people's attention.game from no name indie dev- no one caressame game from a team that spent years building a community on forums and discord and advertizing on social media- hit indie game
>>503279987This is my only comment. A smug duck is my only comment.
>>503279987Says the schizo shilling french pedo game
>>503332295Well they definitely didn't start with a game that was heavily marketable, Rain World got trashed by professional reviews and mostly ignored for a full year after release, it only picked up steam much later.
>>503326367>Here Lovecraftian Horror meets AnimeThe way they're phrasing that is not filling me with confidence.Nor is the six-fingered girl you posted.
>>503332295God I fucking hate networking and socializing so much it's unreal.>can't have a successful game unless you suck dicks, get streamers to direct their fans towards your products or waste years of your life associating with forums and fanbases just so you have people who'll remember that you made something (and they expect it to be heavily inspired by the series fandom you are associated with)
>>503332295making a hit indie game doesn't always mean that your next game will be a hit too. Rogue Legacy devs next game, Full metal furies, was considered a massive failure by the devs, so after that they made Rogue Legacy 2 to try to make some easy money
>>503332295i mean yeah, "Indie" doesn't just cover game dev.you're your own developer team, your own publisher, your own marketing team..making a game and selling a game are two different fields of expertise..
>>503330615Tell me what you like about it. I played 1 and liked it after the initial acclimating period.
>>503332886Lovecraftian is a red flag. Not because what the definition entails is necessarily bad, but because people using the word are retards who have never read a book in their life.X meets Y is also a red flag.Here [...] is a red flag. "Build your mansion" is a red flag.
>>503333805welcome to society, enjoy your stay
>>503336550if you liked synthetik 1 then you're familiar with the general "flow" of the game between methodically positioning to reload and then unleashing a bullet hell and how addicting it can be.the guns are punchy and their soundeffects are exquisite, the game is in an actual 3D engine now and that means they can implement actual physics for alot of things, this comes up alot for grenades for examples since you physically throw them. there's more classes and this time they make sure they play fundamentally differently than each other, in Synthetik 1 it had a porblem where all classes approach the same vanishing point in high levells because they all converge towards the few better strategies. not in Synthetik 2.it has more bosses. but desu those are hit and miss. there's one i personally fucking hate. the final boss is definitely a highlight though.actual variety, in S1 the areas get very repetetive especially since some of them are just recolors of each other.in S2 there's actual level design and weather effects and geometry going on with hazards that matter, and it has a sort of branching paths thing going on where first area picks from a pool of 3 areas, second area does the same, etc.more difficulty configurations/challenge run options.and generally just more content, more weapons, more classes, more enemy variety, more bosses, more areas, if there's something you liked in S1 there's more of it in S2.and there's a classic mode that makes the game control more similar to synthetik 1 if you don't like the new shield or grenade mechanics etc.only thing i'd say is just like how you kept an open mind before synthetik 1 finally "clicks", you should do the same for synthetik 2. it'll feel weird at first because it controls a little differently than any other game in the genre, but after your first run your brain should acclimate and you'll "get it".i recommand starting with commando and knifing people.
>>503337729Also, reverence is my gunfu. When you get it you'll "get" it. Beautiful gun.
>>503332886Where the fuck are you getting six fingers from? Are you blind?
>>503343548I think he means pic related.>>503326367
>>503344851Are you trying to say that the guns trigger is a finger?I could see that I guess, but then that means there is no trigger on the gun.
>>503345736I find it more believeable to believe it's a finger since if it was a trigger, it wouldn't even be linked to the thingy where the bullet is.
>>503345736I thought the same at quick glance, but it's definitely a finger with a distinct lightning artstyle choice. Even if it was a trigger, the positioning is utterly retarded even if its supposed to be a type of pressure trigger that by default already touches the "C" thing and you need to apply pressure to squeeze it and shoot the gun.
six fingers, one miscolored finger, no triggerfive fingers, malformed handeither way it's fucked up
>>503344851that third finger bother me more than the second finger/trigger
>>503283664Depends on the type of game. Some games overstay their welcome in a few hours, some are too short after tens of hours.
>>503345736Yeah, that's what it looks like to me.The other option is that she's holding the gun like she's giving a thumbs up and there just happens to be a gun in her fist that she forgot about.
Got around to playing Mouthwashing. It was 95% walking simulator, but a very good walking simulator. Were the unreal segments supposed to be supernatural or all in Jimmy's head?

>>503309726Rain World to Videocult is what Darkest Dungeon 1 was to Red Hook. I don't believe they are capable devs and RW is not a freak accident.
>>503326523>It's amazing that a turn-based game has managed to squeeze in multiplayer and have it be able to work well. Wayward is one of my personal favorite games just because of this.It's kind of surprising to see how many posters actually know of Wayward.

It's the same mindset as Nintendo patenting the feature of looking at things.
>>503118893Atlyss came out yesterday and it's genuinely fun. The combst starts off like shit and becomes fantastic once you unlock your class. I'm playing bandit right now and it's great.

BABA is GOAL
>>503358591I don't doubt Videocults talent at all, but what i actually mean by that is i don't doubt Joar's talent.he literally coded like 90% of the mechanics back in 2011 on his own while working One hour per day as a hobby due to hisactual job taking most of his time. the rest of the teams came in just to port his code from an outdated language to unity and general polish.all the things praise about rain world like the AI and movement and aesthetic were present in what's essentially a flash game he made on his freetime; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNYTIxHQ3jkif Joar is in Videocult, then it's still in good hands.
didn't expect to see babes in victory heat rally.
>>503358591Retarded statement. they are literally polar opposites. Red Hook actively hates their community because they "enjoyed their game wrong", darkest dungeon 2 was made almost out of spite, like saying "THIS is how you're supposed to play our game".Rainworld devs are on the opposite end of the spectrum, they love their community *too* much, to the point of letting them contribute and compromise the original vision.
rain world: i managed to get stuck in drainage system, right after the beginning which, as it turns out, you are not suppossed to do. i had a shelter right next to a huge pipe. leading me directly to an area filled with water and tons of leeches. i couldnt manage to get past that and apparently it's one of the late game areas or leads to one of the late game areas. either it's really hard and welp. now i gotta restart the game. at least now i instantly found the actual area i am suppossed to go
FTL basically got me re-interested in vidya. I went from like 2 hours of vidya per week to 15 hours per week just from playing this. But this fucking achievement is killing my joy for the game. It's maybe the most boring ship in the game, and the achievement is impossible. At best, I got 3 blue events in the first sector and then didn't get a single one for the remaining sectors.Literally impossible.
>>503370298you are playing it wrong if you somehow manage to get less than 4 blue options up until the very end of the gamelearn what quests leads to more of them, specifically learn what beacons are most likely to get you events and get engis with slugs
>>503370298I don't remember this one to be particularly annoying. The one for beating 20 rock ships with the rock cruiser is easely the most rng and shitty one, as there are times where it's literally impossible to get it but there's no way to know unless you get far and rock cruisers suck ass.
>>503370294Not really going through drainage is perfectly valid for a first playthrough that's how mine went.the thing about rain world is every area connects to about 4 areas, and one of them is usually the lategame one but is hard to get to/requires movement tech so experienced players.so if you're in drainage system, sure there's a path to subternannean (end game area) but you won't reach it naturally unless you know about it, if you soldiered on through drainage and progressed normally you would've mostly likely ended up in either outskirts or garbage wastes, both early game areas.there's only really one are that i would recommend you "turn back" when you reach it: pipeyard; it fucking sucks and is located in the center of the map so it feels like you always end up there no matter what even though it's optional.
>>503371064oh well, too late and also fuck those leeches. i know i can stun them with a snail but it's still too hard getting past them and once i get past them i will most likely drown. it gets frustrating.
>>503371417that's fine, picking another path is fine. the world is your oyster.

random rain world gripe:Slugpups should've been available way earlier or been a toggle in the menu.locking them behind gourmand sucks because you want to do gourmand and then the other OC donut steals but gourmand only unlocks slugpups for the vanilla slugcats so you're torn between making story progress and starting a new vanilla playthrough just for the novelty of trying out slugpups instead of them being organically introduced into the game.Personally i would've put them in the very fifrst survivor campaign as something you unlock by doing an optional sidequest of sorts that you can do midway through the run.
>>503376717they are a bonus optional content (not of the greatest quality if you ask me) and i wouldn't bear them in vanilla campaigns
>>503379372i like them, they were developped alongside vanilla and were in the game files since the alpha, ever since the games story was simpler, along the lines of surviving long enough to mature and start your own family and then one of the slugpups gets lost and retreads your journey in a NG+ of sorts.

>>503370706>>503371024I've been grinding it since I made that post and I got it. >you are playing it wrong if you somehow manage to get less than 4 blue options It's specifically for race-based blue events, which are rare enough that it is hard to get intentionally since you have to do it in the first 5 sectors. I was resetting until I got 2 new races near the very start and still I just barely got it at the final node that wasn't covered by the rebel fleet at the end of sector 5.
>>503383998I haven't played it but from other people I know who did it seems it's a bit of a mixed bag. They changed a lot of things that made BR unique like its scoring system, and made it something much more bland. Now you can "easily" get >125M points in normal, and I saw some ~200M points paralel clear. Normal mode and missions are also easier now, but parallel mode is harder. Stage 5 has also been completely modified. The game is still good but it's weird how they decided to pretty much destroy the old game.
>>503385580I kinda wish there was an option to switch between old and double action but I think the game is better overall I'm having more fun than I was before

>>503358946>I'm personally not planning to buy itI pirated Elin, and only bought it after playing 10 hours. In my opinion, pirating is an excellent way to make sure that the game is worth paying for.I don't mind if a game doesn't have a regional price or discounts (and I'm from a third world country), but it's true that there are games that I end up pirating and if they were a little cheaper, I would buy them without hesitation.Nor do I think it is fair to compare a single dev with a multinational. It's not easy to make a living from your game.

Because a) they don't need more and b) they WILL sell no matter what.People will cry, but they will not only buy the game, they will buy the same game THREE TIMES.Sure, pokémon is the most exaggerated case, but many other AAA IP's are too big to lose money making games. And that's if we don't go into most cases, which are when they 'lose money' but in reality the company expected to make X amount of money, and simply sold less than that (even if they made a profit, albeit a small one).Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Where do I go to talk about Balatro?
I tried playing SOMA and boy am I somewhat dissapointed. It feels incredibly mid, I already knew the twist but the game didn't even attempt to hide it so it's not that big of a deal. I geniuently don't really find the philosophical question of "Would a copy (or a brain scan) of you still be you?" to be that interesting as I see it as something that we have no way to actually answer as we can't even define consciousnes to begin with so it feels like trying to learn how to run before we walk, which might have influenced my interest in the game as well.The gameplay is a walking simulator with monsters. It's alright but it just doesn't click with me.>>503248385>InfraThat looks great will try it.
>>503233530>>503246923I will try that as well
>>503426741You can talk about it here.
What is the worst indie game that you have ever played guys?For me it might be quite a basic bitch choice but it's Dustborn (I pirated it)
So... do you guys know any more horror RPGs? I have played Fear and Hunger and Darkest Dungeon already as well as Black Souls. It's generally such a fun genre mix that I wish it would appear more often.
>>503425068Ah! you meant THOSE dungeon crawlers.Personally, as a kid I loved Eye of the Beholder. I remember drawing maps behind my math homework.However... Legends of Grimrock never appealed to me. And I tried! It's a game that has everything I love, plus it's an obvious nostalgia bait for a boomer like me.However I could never play it for more than 2 hours. It puts me to sleep.I think it has to do with the game being more of a nostalgia bait, going for classic mechanics without much innovation other than QoL. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, tho. It's just a personal preference.>Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society.I played this one for over 100 hours. I guess because it shakes up the formula a bit.It's got story. JRPG combat. Farming. Secrets. Cute anime waifus. Multiple classes and a great freedom to make party builds. The game is not easy, either.Like all games, it has its problems. But I think it's a good step for the genre. Not everything has to be a faithful copy of Eye of the Beholder.
>>503427526most /indie/ darlings nowadays are badit's why this general has gone downhill
>>503427526Dusk.I played it when the "boomer shooter revival" shit wasn't a thing yet so all the zoomers had no actual frame of reference and oversold it to shit.i always thought it looked like shit and played like floaty garbage.
>>503427526So many. I occasionally look for games without reviews just to find hidden gems.The worst ones are the asset flips. Otherwise, I will fight to the death for any game made with love, even if they are unplayable.
>>503427763>However... Legends of Grimrock never appealed to me. And I tried! It's a game that has everything I love, plus it's an obvious nostalgia bait for a boomer like me.I mean, same. I tried it, I really tried.>It's got story. JRPG combat. Farming. Secrets. Cute anime waifus. Multiple classes and a great freedom to make party builds. The game is not easy, either.I mean, RPG gotta either have story or gameplay, and I disliked Grimrock because gameplay feels like "click, wait". Warriors can't feint, parry, erect a shield wall or anything, and there was no story I could tell.And I just finished Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth so I'm game for a JRPG combat with lot of skills.
>>503428062I disagree, I really liked DUSK and honestly I felt like most of the other "boomer shooter" revival games never get to the same level.
>>503428252I really liked DUSK too. It felt simple and straightforward, kinda like Half Life. No meter, no ultimate, no fuel to accumulate or anything. Just guns, enemies and maps.
>>503428154Yeah, Grimrock is TOO classic. I understand what they were going for, but every time I play it makes me want to play EotB. Not Grimrock.That doesn't mean the whole genre is bad, just that it's a niche genre that hasn't had much innovation.
>>503428604That's the thing it didn't overcomplicate shit (though it had some interesting mechanics at times). There are some games in the "boomer shooter revival" with good and complex mechanics that were fun, but not many of them just feel as "Oh, another FPS just like the ones which were made in the past". That's how Dusk felt.
i just wanna say Ultrakill is pretty great, regardless of your opinion of trannies.
>>503428764I understand your point. And it's funny, that's precisely why I like it.No secondary fire, no shooting the shock core to make a shock combo, no items to bother with. Just shooting, and a scary atmosphere that really appealed to me. I'm a sucker for cults stories in the south of the united states, like "American Gothic" thing.
>>503427526against the storm. who the FUCK thought it was a good idea to put roguelite elements on a strategy game
For those of ya'll who enjoy idle/incremental games, Unnamed Space Idle just got a big update.>R5+And for people who haven't heard of it before, it's a quality idle game (with some amount of active "gameplay" and strategizing) about driving your space ship through alien territory and repurposing their tech to make your ship progressively more powerful in the face of a seemingly-endless horde of alien space ships.I'm nearing the end of R5 now and figured I should post it here since I know we have 2 or 3 ilder fans.I am also playing a game I found called Meritous. It's a bullet-hell dungeon-crawler where your only attack is a charged-up psionic nova and you have to clear out thousands of rooms in search of the keys to restore the Dome. Overall very cool, most interesting tidbit I found was that despite being developed in 2019, it was made to run on Windows 98 and has great forwards-compatibility.Both games are free.
>>503427526Don't really have any strong hate for any games I've played but I've always found Age of Decadence to be a pain in the tits and a somewhat unfun experience. Especially it's insistence on trial-and-error of the worst kind and practically expecting you to look up guides and build planners just to get anything worthwhile done
>>503427526Inescapable.Kind of a metroidvania, but without any map.
>>503428987But I agree with you, I said that's why I like the game too.
why do rain world troons seethe when you call their game a metroidvania.it literally is.
>>503428818Ultrakill is good, it's just that the creator hired a voice actor who is a cunt.
>>503431664Oh, sorry. It's the way you phrased it, it sounded like a negative.
>>503431687i seethe at the term metroidvania in general.
>>503432151Are you mad? Are you seething?
Lunacid is a metroidvania
I personally prefer the term metroidlite.

>>503424545damn.you'd think it'd be a very ripe field for indies.literally just brainstorm a ruleset and then make art for cards and voilà . indie TCG.i understand that it's hard to make a *good* indie TCG, but it feels like there's no indie TCGs period. no one is even trying.

Trying to do the hunter playthrough in rain world and man... i thought i was ready i was like yeah sure toughter enemies + timer i'll just speedrun this. and then i find out one of your hands is permaoccupied with neuron fly and stomache is permaoccupied with the pearl.it makes you how subtely evil that burden is. like not being able to grab squidcadas for long jumps because you need both hands, it's basically an amputee run.
>>503441712On the bright side, you can carry extra spears on your back.
>>503421856>>503433969The opposite of indie, but the Tag Force games might scratch the itch if you haven't played them.
>>503421856this >>503351910
>>503448551looks cool. mechanically and gameplay wise.not sure how i feel about the aesthetics and style tho, it feels a little too cozy, like stardew valley vibes which i hate.wish there was something just like this but more SMT-esque.
do you mod your favorite indie games?
>>503408667embrace your inner murderhobo instinct
>>503382015Just play Eternal ring i know you haven't played it nigger
>>503427526for me it's Teleglitch, I really couldn't get into the game
>>503195431I'm done with the game. All the side and main quests, spells, weapons and armours. The last few hours were a complete grind because I couldn't find the side quest that was clogging the entire questlines and I had to grind 3k kills for the final achievement.The game took 22 hours, I'd say that for $2, I definitively had my money's worth. It's more of a classic action rpg than a farming game. No relation between characters, 90% of the game is not farming game stuff but the farming is at least somewhat like a traditional farming game. And it has an awful grind achievement that takes several hours to complete optimally and can't realistically be completed the normal way. But at least it's only about a single hour to do it... Unlike rune factory which always have That One Achievement which requires over 10 hours of optimal grind to complete, the biggest barn in rf4, the max friendship (and big family) achievements from rf5, all items shipped from rf3 (and rf4 but it's a lot easier there). It's a farming game tradition. Perfection in stardew, unlock every skills in sun haven, etc.That is to say, we needed a bump.

Everything Devolver Digital makes always feels so fucking reddit.They're the electro swing of game developers.

>>503382015HARK THE GHOUL had a demothere're like a couple ones made with SOMhttps://www.swordofmoonlight.com/games/
>>503459480
Played the The Time I Have Left new demo they made for the Kickstarter, i think they doubled the demo area plus added a (kinda shitty) boss fight.It's...good. It tries something different and the combat kinda grew on me despite the fact that initially i thought it was stupid. The things that bother me are: 1) The MC makes no sound whatsoever during combat, making it kinda awkward 2) Finding items requires facefucking the walls and when entering Searching mode to flail the cursor around so you dont miss anything3) I found moving around the Database awkward 4) Items are not organized by type5) You're thrown into the game without knowing what your objective is, not even a clue like "I have to get out of the Residential Block"Also to the people who played it, is it possible to get back to the Residential Block after entering the Maintenance Level?
will Repentance+ fuck up my mods if i download it? i want to try online but not at the cost of the mods
>>503485498you can't play online with mods anyway. Idk how it works really anyway since I disabled them all before downloading the dlc
>>503486641yes but i dont know if its going to fuck me up when playing solo runs after
Idk why, but I just get the feeling that you independent gamers feel really nice to hug.

>>503498538why? it was perfectly alright
>>503427526Red Flower by GBoots for Knytt Stories +Not because of the content but because of the bugs and horrible, unedited dialogue that drove me insane, not to mention all the little secrets that were hard to find and the chapter-like progression of the game that shuts you out of finding them if you progress too fast. I'm sure there are other indie games that I've played that were on that level or worse but I can't really think of any. Would the LOTR: War in the North also count or nah?
>>503499661what's wrong with it?

rain world: can someone give me a hint?i am in looks to the moon and i found the robot, i have no idea what to do. my little helper only tells me to not kill anyone. so i dont. am i suppossed to just walk away and go somewhere else? also then why did i collect all these pearls in the previous room? i have them stored in my shelter and the robot doesnt react to them if i bring them
>>503525307that's not what the helper wants
>>503525307the little helper (the yellow thing) is telling you to go somewhere else, yeah, follow it it's giving you general directions, not precise directions, like "go left" or "go up".the pearls are used as currency to trade with the scavengers and get on their good side so they stop killing you on site, the *colored* pearls have optional lore reasons for existing, but i suggest not worrying about it on a first playthrough.focus on surviving and exploration, that's what the game is about.
>>503526485 so am i suppossed to eat the glowing "flies"? i did that once and i started glowing myself, but then i killed myself because it seems wrong. or do i need more karma to meaningfully interact with the robot? getting more karma is kind of a pain, as the way back to the robot is rather long
>>503526964the next scavengers are way too far away, getting all 5 pearls there would be a pain in the ass.
>>503527063>so am i suppossed to eat the glowing "flies"?well that's an option
>>503527063you can't communicate with the robot yet.the little helper is now going to help you to find a way to communicate which lies elsewhere.no, don't eat the flies. if you eat them the robot dies
>>503527305one pearl is enough, you can store it in your stomache by holding the grab button.the important thing is to not kill them. and to pay their toll when you enter their village or else they'll attack you if you try to pass through.
>>503527425>>503527312alright thanks!>>503527628their village entrance is where they have the tree with all the pearls? also good to know, i thought collecting the pearls was more important in gaining favors with the scavs. i know they have a merchant, but i dont care much for that right now anyway
>>503427526I loathe Duskers. Everything always degrades, replacements are random, and the overarching story amounts to fucking nothing.
>>503521553Cool Bigass Niggass

Did Stronghold have a way to decide when I want enemies to be able to attack me? I want a comfy base-builder where I get to decide when shit comes for my booty cheeks
christ /vg/ is fast today
Playing kitaria fables made me want to play more sun haven. I don't really have any objectives or anything to grind for. I just want to farm, eat and fuck. That is to say, I want to create as many of the endgame crop as possible (which always give back a seed when harvested and give you a decent amount of all 3 currencies), eat 100 of as many food as I can to get the max permanent bonus from them and marry Vivi.
ICBM escalation seems alright, overdetailed version of defcon, but the AI is braindead, it literally won't attack, I nuke everyone in the whole world but they literally do nothing, they don't take territories, the only thing they do is send bombers long after that stopped being viable due to radar and missile tech

Both Void Stranger and Infra are good games, though not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to keep playing them on and off probably. Thanks for the recommendations guys.
remember all the gajillion indie MMOs that came and went.not one of them is noteworthy.
maybe i could have gotten a gf if i spent time on myself rather video games

Disco Elysium stays the best depiction of what it feels like to live with serious mental illness. It's ironic coming from a game which on a surface level uses your character's mental illness as the butt of the joke.
>>503563225>picking train mission, ever
>>503427526Yandere Simulator. I fell for it. I really did, I wanted Hitman in a persistent world, but I got an eternal demo with too pany quirky easter eggs.
>>503539998Yes. In sandbox, you could press F1 to cause events.
>>503576526Out of all the things to come out of YS, the weirdest is like the fucking absolute bibliography of references it has on TV Tropes for some god forsaken reason
>>503576721Because the guy updated it very often, but updates were just memes. There's a little nightmare mode, there's a Sans mode. If it's popular, he added a cheat to let you play as the Flavour of the Month character. I was in denial of how bad it was until I realised he was more interested in having a community than making an actual game.
>>503576651Perfect. Thanks
>>503580896In my knowledge, only works for Stronghold, Stornghold Crusader, and Stronghold 2.Legends doesn't have a sandbox mode, and I haven't tried 3 or Crusader 2 or Warlords.
where does it want me to go? to the right or to the left?
>>503576526>Hitman in a persistent worldI never followed yandere simulator development but the name already has not one but two red flags against something like that.
>>503581513Why so? I liked the idea of having to survive in a world that you're ruining through murders.Dishonored had a similar system where the more you killed, the shittier the world got.
>>503581195Stronghold and Crusader were what I was going after, so that's perfect. Thanks again
>>503581778It's my pleasure to help. Have fun.
>>503581773You have an "x simulator" type meme game and weebshit. Not a combo that would or could ever take itself seriously like Hitman.
>>503554994march is so far away...
>>503581975I mean, I have Cooking Simulator, and I genuinely like it. But I see your point, Surgeon Simulator does NOT take itself seriously. I wish I refunded it.
